Not a big LAX fan by any means (trying to learn!) but the poor start for the team has me worried. I've been waiting for a season where they really establish themselves with Nagle and it isn't there yet which has me concerned. It's even more glaring given the tremendous success Spallina has had in such a short time.

Again, this is just coming from a casual fan who is growing more impatient in recent years.
This.
There’s no reason SB shouldn’t have success like Albany, or more given location and academics.

I agree Wolfie. Nagle has had ample time to take this program to the next level. Long Island is a breading ground for Lax stars. Just not in a SB men's uniform...


Looking forward to watching the game tonight on Big Ten Network. Newsday had the game 2 goals apart in 4th quarter before wheels fell off

I just looked at the 2017 All Long Island Lacrosse Teams:
3 going to Maryland
3 to Virginia
3 to Cornell
3 to Stony Brook
2 to Hopkins, Hofstra and Duke
rest of list is just 1 kid per school

I might be wrong but thats pretty good for SB. Need to see it on the field but the talent is getting recruited.

That's an impressive haul- gotta turn that recruiting success into production on the field.

Problem one is Nagel. Look at his track record. He made the NCAA tournament once some years ago, and that was with the remanence of Coash Sowell’s team.  Coach Sowell has gone onto continued growth and success at Navy while SB and Nagel continue to rebuild. Second, Nagel does get some good recruits, but after a year or two of Nagel lax they transfer, which brings us back to problem one.
